  I bought this game for my then 4 year old son. He loved this game at the time and is now 5 and still loves the game and plays it. At the age of 4, he was able to understand and play the game and as he grew, he understood even more of the game! I would recommend this game for younger children and even older ones! My son loves it!

  I’ve been waiting for this game to come out so that my 4 year old son can play Wii. He likes the bowling, but that is pretty much all he understood to play using the Wiimote. Until now! This game is great and well thought out! My son can use the Wiimote independently, although sometimes he requires a little “help” as to what action to take(and the programmers even added that little help from an adult using a second Wiimote). But he certainly can play the game “on his own.” From an adult perspective, this game is well designed, takes into account all of the subtle elements of the Diego cartoon – even a Wii action to say “Freeze Bobos!” Fabulous game!

  My kids LOVE this game. It is truly the best game out there for little kids. My sons (3 & 5) can participate in the adventures and they love when “Click” or “Rescue pack” come on allowing them to figure out which animal to save or which item they need to get to the next part. Everyday they beg to play, they have passed the game a # of times and still find it just as thrilling.

  The option of having a “parent aid” who uses the 2nd controller is fantastic for the smaller children, who don’t want to give up their own controller to have you do the task for them. They probably don’t even realize you are helping.

  The only thing that would be great is if it had different levels of difficulty, which would give the game more longevity, I’m not sure how long it will take for them to master it all and tire of it.

  I would love to see more games like this for the WII.

  For anyone who owns a Wii system, it is a fabulous game for family fun, as has been well documented elsewhere. The only real area that was lacking was a great game for the real youngsters in the family. The problem has been solved with this game.

  As others have said, this is a great game for young children. Our 4 year old daughter and 5 year old son both love this game. They cannot wait to play it again.

  The gameplay is very simple, tilt the wii-mote to move, tilt it further to go faster. The primary interaction is done using the “2″ button. Diego will chime in and offer instruction at each new section, and the gameplay is both intuitive and forgiving. There is no area your child cannot get through, no way your child can die, thus ending in tears as they hand you the parent the wii-mote.

  The initial linear gameplay is a bit short, but there is a competative area where two players can play at the same time against each other, and this will certainly extend the life of this game.

  If you have children in this age group, and you are looking for a game for the wii, look no further.

  We own a Wii and my four year old son gets frustrated with most of the games we have. I ordered this game and he absolutely loves it! It gives step by step instructions with pictures that are easy understand and mimic. He can actually play this without help from mom or dad! This is a great game for younger kid still learning to play video games.

  We got the wii for our 4.5 year old twin boys and this game was great for them. It really taught them the basics of the game–climbing, jumping, finding objects, etc. This game only uses the wii remote, hold it sideways and use the #2 button for some functions–not complicated like some other games we have tried. For my young children it was great that they NEVER died–can’t fall off a cliff, no bad people to kill you, etc. I’m not sure if an older child would like this game, the higher levels didn’t get harder, it was kind of repetitive, but for a younger child this was great. This game was even kind of educational, following on the TV show where you have to choose the correct animal and rescue item.

  Excellent game!…suggested age group, 3 to 4 yrs of age. I purchased this game for my grandson, who is 3 years old. He absolutely loves it. It is the first video game that he can actually play on his own, with little or no help from his parents. Am very happy with my purchase and so is he. Would definitely recommend it!

  My daughter loves this game and it’s just challenging enough to keep her busy. It’s also easy enough that she can play alone and isn’t discouraged.

  We purchased a Nintendo DS system for our barely 4 year old for a 3 1/2 hour flight (not including airport time) this summer. I struggled to find games for his age level and this game was perfect. It keeps him occupied and he truly enjoys playing it!

  I’ve been anxious for my 3 year old daughter to play video games as an inside leisure activity when I can’t spend direct, continuous time with her. I prefer her actively doing something rather than passively watching a DVD. But the video game options are either poor quality (Leapster) or just too hard for a 3 year old.

  This game is really the first game she’s been able to pick up easily and also enjoy for more than a few plays. It was made for preschoolers. The controls are pretty easy. Tilt left and right to move Diego, press ’2′ to jump and other actions, and then a series of Wiimote motions to do things like climb a ladder or hose off Diego. It’s fairly repetitive which is a feature for a 3 year old.

  It requires some adult supervision to get through the menus and whenever a new event takes place. And occasionally she’s get stuck in some spots. But for the most part she can play on her own (“Go away daddy. I don’t need help.”). I hope Take 2 continues to put out games focused on this age range.
